It sounds to me that he's not specifying the length of the service chain, but 
the amount of instance redundancy (i.e. the number of copies of the "same" 
instance).

 From the earlier message:

"When we create an instance, we give as input the robustness(integer value >=1) 
  that is the number of copy of an instance. For example Robustness = 3, it will 
create 3 instances and put them in 3 different compute nodes."

It sounds to me that the problem could be solved by specifying --min-count and 
--max-count to specify the number of copies, and using server groups with the 
anti-affinity filter to ensure that they end up on different compute nodes.
